SUMMLab - Laboratori de Mesura i Modelització de la Sostenibilitat
L'activitat científica del grup es centra en (a) la d'avançar en la comprensió de la complexitat dels sistemes socials i ecològics, (b) generar coneixements orientats a desenvolupar i aplicar pràctiques de gestió, governança i tecnologies apropiades mitjançant la recerca i la transferència de tecnologia inter- i transdisciplinàries que integrin les diverses ciències (socials, naturals, tecnològiques, etc.) i (c) promocionar la comunicació científica i les trobades pel desenvolupament de la ciència dins del paradigma de la sostenibilitat.
- Avanzar en la comprensión de la complejidad de los sistemas sociales y ecológicos.
- Generar conocimientos orientados a desarrollar y aplicar prácticas de gestión, governanza y tecnologías apropiadas mediante la investigación y la transferencia de tecnología inter- y trans- disciplinarias que integran las diversas ciencias (sociales, naturales, tecnológicas, etc.).
